Plus size thigh high and support stockings are good for our legs and help prevent varicose veins, thrombosis or edema. However, you have to get into the thigh stockings first!
I am often asked by desperate people for tips on how to put on the plus size tight thigh stockings. Many customers describe the tightening process as a great torture that not only causes sweating, but often leads to the destruction of the valuable rubber knit.
However, it is not so difficult to comfortably put on thigh highs as a plus size women without so-called “tightening aids” if you know a few tricks.
Tips For Stress-Free Wearing Of Plus Size Thigh Highs
Plus size thigh stockings must fit tightly. To allow them to exert uniform pressure on the veins, they are knitted from a firm, elastic material. Of course, you can’t just touch high-quality support stockings and pull them over your feet and calves with momentum. Here are some plus size thigh high stocking tips for stress-free compression, which have proven themselves well so far:
1. It is best to put on the stockings as soon as you get up in the morning.
2. Pay attention to round filed fingernails.
3. Do not wear jewelry on your hands.
4. Verses and toenails should be well maintained and have no cracks where the knit can get stuck.
5. Have a pair of rubber gloves ready.
6. Sit down comfortably and place a small stool in front of you.
Putting On Plus Size Thigh Highs
First, put one foot on the stool. Reach into the stocking with your hand up to the heel, hold the knit to the heel and roll it to the left. Now put the stocking over the tip of the foot with both hands and gently roll the material with both hands up to the heel over the foot.
Now check whether the elastic material on the heel fits perfectly and encloses the foot evenly. Correct the fit if necessary.
Now slowly roll the stocking from the heel over the calf. If the stocking fits perfectly on the calf, strip it over the knee and gradually spread the knit evenly over the thigh.
Ideally, a plus size thigh high stocking ends 2 – 5 centimeters below the buttocks fold. Now the time has come for the “rubber glove trick”:
The Trick With The Rubber Glove
Put on the rubber gloves and correct the fit of the stockings with both hands until the material is evenly distributed throughout the leg.
You will feel that with the gloves you can grasp the delicate stretch material well without tearing it. If the fit of the thigh stocking is perfect on the first leg, repeat the procedure on the other side as well.
How To Remove The Thigh High Stockings
Your legs enjoyed the benefits of Plus Size Tights all day long. If you want to take off your stockings in the evening, please take the proven rubber gloves back to hand.
Grab the top of the stocking with both hands and pull it down. The inside turns outwards. Then grasp the right and left of the Achilles tendon and pull the stocking off completely.
With a little practice you will soon be able to do this without much stress and your plus size thigh high stockings will remain intact.
